Answer:


c. (1)/(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial value of a function is the output of the function when the input is zero.

In other words, it is the value of f(x) when x = 0

Now, checking the given table, we can find that:

at x = 0 ...............> f(x) =
(1)/(2)

This means that the output is
(1)/(2) when the input is zero which means that our initial value is
(1)/(2)

Hope this helps :)
